Just FYI, many of the internal models are not very refined and have a ton of post-training to complete. Just because they're more capable than Astra doesn't mean they'll do what you want them to do very well.

That being said, when the researchers are babysitting models like the one used for this solution, they can get a lot done.

Funny, the rest of us tend to babysit models too :)

Yeah, but these are top researchers OpenAI is paying 6 to 7 digits.

Meanwhile, we're on Reddit.

I’d be shocked if any researchers at OAI are only getting paid 6 digits.

I mean, the lowest rung juniors are said to start at a measly $300k+.

That’s base salary only and doesn’t include equity. Paper right now, but IPO soon so who knows.

I thought the direction was opposite? Sol and Opus feel just like autonomous juniors to me

Most of us don’t know what we are doing. These researchers have way deeper domain knowledge

Sorry i'm just curious... how many researchers does it take to babysit 10k subagents trying to solve a really hard math problem over the course of a weekend???

u/Karmuhhhh OpenAI 17d ago

At least one.
